Gil-Ad Shaer’s grandfather: ‘I never bothered with revenge’

September 23, 2014

Shmuel Cohen, the grandfather of Gil-Ad Shaer, discussed the killing of his grandson’s murderers Tuesday morning saying that, “On a personal level, I never bothered with revenge. I wouldn’t risk even a small fingernail of a soldier for revenge.” Cohen added that, “As a Jew and resident of Israel, this has a lot of meaning. The world needs to know that Jewish blood isn’t abandoned and whoever harms a Jew has his blood on his own hands. Many thanks to those who put their lives in danger for this goal.”
